I used to have one of those bags also but never saw any reference to what they were used for or what was carried inside them. I have seen others around so not rare but what was around back then that was 20MM other than the Polsten if in fact it was gun related?

Oerlikon, Hispano? Two different 20mm cartridges, but both in use pre- and post-'45.

Could it be part of the kit issued for the CMP's fitted with the 20mm AA setup?
